Just looking at the 16GB plan I'll be upgrading to and am feeling that I would unlikely to use anywhere that amount as I'm usually at locations with Wi-Fi availability.

How much mobile data do you use monthly and on what?

My usage is around 3-5GB... depending if I need to hotspot when our work WiFi network is down or if I'm at client meetings.

3-6GB on a bad month ;)

I live stream occasionally, and watch some Plex on the bus on way to work etc.

But mostly its wifi for me.

My statistics show that I average about 5-6GB per month. Mostly Spotify streaming in the car on CarPlay. At home I'm on Wifi and in the office we have staff/guest Wifi that my phone connects to.

I downgraded to Skinny's 1.5GB plan a year ago and to my surprise I've have managed to build up a 7GB carryover buffer since then. Turns out I really use very little now that I work from home most days.

It can vary wildly, I was at an average of around 3GB but a busy month can have me at my 12GB limit.

I burn through 10 to 15Gb per month which is probably mainly radio and podcast streaming. Interestingly I had to work from home for a week recently due to an office relocation, and interestingly my usage dropped dramatically during that period.
